  • Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted-, and programmed-release.

  • Pharmaceuticals in the form of solid shaped tablets are typically manufactured by compressing the materials that make up the final product into the desired tablet form.
  • Such materials may include active pharmaceutical ingredients as well as pharmaceutically non-active excipients that impart necessary or useful properties to the product during and after the manufacturing process.
  • Tablet hardness, or tensile strength may be used as a measure of the cohesiveness of the ingredients of a tablet. If a tablet does not possess sufficient cohesive properties, the tablet may fall apart on handling.
  • the final formulation may comprise one or more layers and may be coated or uncoated.
  • granulation is a process used to improve the handling and manufacturing properties of a formulation, for example by increasing particle size to improve flow. Granulation does not substantially change the physical form of the drug such as its crystalline or amorphous character.
  • Various processes are used by those of skill in the art for preparing tablet dosage forms. Examples of such processes include dry-granulation, wet-granulation, fluid-bed granulation, and direct compression. The type of method used may depend upon factors such as physical characteristics of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the formulation, the types of excipients used and the desired physical characteristics of the final product. Each of these processes include steps involving mixing of the ingredients of the dosage form.
  • roller compaction may be employed as a method to form the granules that are subsequently compressed into tablets. Roller compaction may reduce the subsequent compressibility and cohesiveness of the dosage form.
  • Dry granulation is a process in which granulates are formed by a compaction step that is followed by sizing the compacts into particles that may be processed easily. It is often used to improve flow properties and/or densify the formulation which may facilitate further manufacturing processes such as tableting, encapsulation and powder filling.
  • the compacts are made directly from powder blends that usually contain an active ingredient and other excipients including a lubricant.
  • dry granulation techniques may be preferred to wet granulation methods because of shorter processing times and cost advantages.
  • dry granulation is generally limited to those situations in which the drug or active ingredient has physical characteristics suitable for forming pharmaceutically acceptable granulations and dosage forms such as tablets.
  • excipient to the formulation is generally required and will contribute to increasing the tablet size of the final product.
  • tablet size must be within certain parameters to function as a suitable dosage form, there is a limit beyond which increasing tablet size to accommodate increasing amounts of excipients to enhance compatibility is not practical.
  • manufacturers are often limited to using the dry granulation method for formulations containing a low dose of the active ingredient per compressed tablet such that the formulation may accommodate sufficient levels of excipient to make dry granulation practical.
  • the dosage form should also optimally make available the active compound contained therein to the patient. Further, the dosage form should be easy to swallow. Smaller dosage forms may be better accepted by patients and may improve patient compliance.
  • the final pharmaceutical composition is processed into a unit dosage form (e.g., tablet or capsule) and then packaged for distribution.
  • a unit dosage form e.g., tablet or capsule
  • the processing step will vary depending upon the particular unit dosage form. For example, a tablet is generally compressed under pressure into a desired shape and a capsule employs a simple fill operation. Those skilled in the art are aware of the procedures used for manufacturing the various unit dosage forms.
  • Tablets are typically formed by pressure being applied to the material to be tableted on a tablet press.
  • a formulation must have good flow properties for precise volumetric feeding of the material to the die cavity and suitable compressibility, compatibility, and ejection properties to form a tablet.
  • Tablet presses There are several tablet presses, each varying in productivity but similar in basic function and operation. All compress a tablet formulation within a die cavity by pressure exerted between two steel punches, a lower punch, and an upper punch. Tablet presses are typically designed to have a hopper for holding and feeding the formulation, a feeding mechanism for feeding the formulation to the die cavity, provision for placement of punches and dies, and in rotary tablet presses a cam track for guiding the movement of the punches. Two types of tablet presses are the single station or single-punch press and the multistation rotary press. Some tablet presses provide longer dwell times than others, allowing increased bonding to occur. Other presses may provide precompression.
  • wet granulation methods may also be employed for preparing the granules of the pharmaceutical composition.

Vitamin E TPGS was added and the solution was stirred until an absence of solids in suspension was achieved. Methocel (i.e., HPMC) was added and the solution was stirred until an absence of solids in suspension was achieved.

  • results in fasted study animals show that exposure of size-reduced API was slightly improved by microenvironmental acidification (using fumaric acid) - see comparison of FIGs 2B vs 2D. It was also noted that increased particle size does not affect exposure in the presence of acid - see comparison of FIGs 2C vs 2D.
  • the spray-dried dispersion in HPMC and TPGS provided the best exposure.
  • Results in fed study animals, shown in FIGs 3A-3D showed an approximately three-fold increase in exposure for all formulations compared to fasted subjects. As with fasted subjects, the spray-dried dispersion in HPMC and TPGS provided the best exposure.
